Home Page: Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pay by credit card? At this time the Village cannot accept payments by credit or debit cards.  However, we are looking into the possibility of being able to accept credit and debit cards.  We will be sure to announce when that service becomes available.  Currently, we do accept cash, checks, money orders or cashiers checks.

If I cannot make it to the Village Hall by the close of business, how can I make a payment?  You can send your payment by mail or we do have a drop box located by the front door of the Village Hall that is checked every morning Monday - Friday.

What should I do if I cannot make my full utility payment?  We are willing to work with you and set up a Deferred Payment Agreement that is reasonable and requires your signature.  The Agreement can be found under Forms & Permits.

What are the procedures to rent the park facilities?  Please call in advance so we may check our park schedule.  If there is availability for your time request, we require a rental fee which needs to be paid to the Village Office prior to the date of rental.

How do I obtain an alcohol permit for the park rental?  You will need to fill out a Park Permit, sign and date it, pay the permit fee and upon approval by our Chief of Police it will be issued.  The Permit can be found under Forms & Permits.

My water bill seems higher than usual, Why?  We first ask that you check to see if you have any leaks, as LEAKS ARE COSTLY!!  Some tips for finding leaks are as follows:

• Remove the toilet tank cover, add enough food coloring to the tank to give a strong color to the tank water.  Let it stand or sit overnight.  If toilet bowl has turned the color of the food coloring, you have a toilet leak.
• Watch for meter movement.  To test the entire building or house, find the water meter and place a toothpick over the meter pointer; don't use any water for 15 mintues, after that time, if the pointer has moved, there is a leak somewhere in the house.
• Check to see how often your water softner is kicking in; sometimes storms can mess with the timer.
• Keep an eye on outdoor faucets, it is easy to leave a hose running and not realize it.
